Not looking to save fuel with this magnet though , maybe a pump or injector possibly just a pacifier after finding the crap in the other filter.

Instead of trying to make a oil/fuel filter cutter, for us lazy people . here is a link to Summitt racing.

Yes
Many MB fuel filters each year for tech sessions.
I have seen an increase of petro sludge/goo, and have been tempted to send some samples for lab analysis. Most I attribute to alternative fuel, some seems to be from ULSD breaking down rubber hoses/seals + very slowly breaking down old tank sludge. Hose and O-ring replacement has gone up 50% this past year, suspected cause is ULSD. |

So now weve all had to resort to chemistry at the pump with additives. wonder what that does to air quality?

Metal could possibly be just old pumps down here in south texas. some stations still resemble the old 60's car movies.

Perhaps their in ground tank pump housing needs more lubrication. |

Yup thats what I was thinking , but I figured the fuel was the lubricant same as hydraulics. The thing that puzzled me was if fuel was the lubricant what about the gasoline pumps ? The start of this thread was a buyer beware on quality we may be getting at the pumps, apparently I'm not the only one. It also goes to show you cant trust the filters at the station, or the attendants for that matter. I was told they caught one worker filling up her car and then refilling the tanks with a garden hose. Bad economy high fuel prices makes you wonder when you fill yours up. All that time invested under the hood to have fuel destroy it !!!

This is not true. If you perform speciation of the hydrocarbons, you will see this. Hydrodesulfurization is a non-selective process, and it opens up every carbon-carbon double bond and aromatic rings before it gets to the sulfur. The molecular structure of most sulfur compounds in diesel fuel makes it tough to get to the sulfur. Thus you have a fairly significant shift in fuel chemistry. The sulfur-aromatic compounds used to "alloy" with some of the metal surfaces to create soft, low wear faces, but now you do not have this as much, thus the wear. The change in chemistry to remove the sulfur also changes the solvency parameters, both solving junk and gunk, as well as sometimes rubber parts as well.

This user says...
Thanks to: JHZR2 for his informative treatise on ULSD effects.
(AND,yes we all realize it's Heresy according to F.I. ['Kinda miss his Rants] )

Thanks for the in depth. Im still looking through the dictionary to try and decipher it What your basically saying is the same thing that happened when they removed lead from gas to the valve seats is basically happening to our injectors , pumps , etc. The fuel is also becoming more caustic thus cleaning the tanks as whunter posted and possibly eating the rubber ? Do I get a E for effort ??

Great job!
There are some similarities with what lead did for valves and what the sulfur compounds do for injector systems. The cleaning and breakdown of rubber is due to solubility of the modified hydrocarbons with the "sludge" and rubber parts. You got it!
